Today I built a Web Part in JQuery. Well, actually, I used a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP), threw some JQuery with AJAX into it, added some graphics and had a web part. It accessed a SharePoint list and modified its display, downloaded and formatted some RSS, and contained some links. Pretty simple stuff which added glitz to our intranet. Felt pretty accomplished in CSS and JQuery when I got dome.
I look forward to exploring JPoint as one of my responsibilities is sprucing up the UI on our SharePoint intranet site. I'm also starting to explore Silverlight as another glitzer-upper (if that's a word). I'm looking for things which are easy, but give the site appeal. It's not my main job, but we need to make the site easier and nicer to use for our employees and contractors.

Thanks. I will. I am currently working with JPoint and it seems to give me the functionality I need at this time, but I'm always interested in new and easier ways to do things.
